Need Help to dispose of a PRS Hollow Body McCarty
« on: May 05, 2006, 06:09:49 AM »
My friend, Mr. Gabe Ascalon needs to sell of his year 2000 PRS Hollow Body McCarty.  

He lives way back in Bacolod.  He needs the money to overhaul his two tractors which he uses to harvest sugar.  

I would normally post this at the BUY AND SELL section but I felt maybe you guys who have patience to read posts here would be more interested aside from having the financial capability.

His asking price is P135,000.  Wala akong patong dito.  I just want to help him out.

I dont have any pics because Gabe is not a techy type of guy, so I guess I will just have to wait until he drops by Manila.  But for those seriously considering, please inform me so I can give you this text number.

Advance thanks to everyone for considering.

Gabe is one bad MF.  Saw him play in Audiophile Pioneer.  He's an acquaintance of mine.  Can't believe he was the original Side A guitarist.  He definitely did the right move.  Apparently, he doesn't like the "requesting" crowd hehehe.

Asking price is P135,000?  I think I can get a decent Historic '57 LP with that amount.  Any pics?

Request lang Skunky,

If you dont have money to buy P135,000 worth of PRS,  Huwag mo naman i-compare sa 57 Historic LP na pareho mong hindi pa naririnig at hindi mo mabibili.  Nangangailangan siya ng pera.  Anyway, if you are not interested the guitar will be sold eventually to the really big guns here locally who buy expensive guitars and they dont usually patronize this forum.   I am just acting on an urgent request and I thought of posting it here but given the lackluster interest which I think really is driven by affordability, I should not have posted it.

As I said, he is no techie.  So, either I wait for him to bring the unit to Manila so I can take pics which in any case susubukan niyo naman for sound and feel which defeats the purpose of posting pictures if you dont have the money.

hb 1 or 2?  10-top or non-10-top?  artist package?  piezo?  PhP135K sounds okay depending on the condition, features, options, etc.

do you check your pm?  if so, let me know so we can correspond via pm instead.

the guitar is a hollowbody I so spruce top w/ piezo....


sa unang tinging, medyo mataas nga ang ~$2.7K for an hb 1 spruce top.  but of course, you have to consider na supply and demand din yan eh.  since wala namang masyadong supply sa manila, kasama na sa presyo yung benefit na naandiyan na ang gitara.  if you find one sa ebay for mga $2K, tapos ipa-ship mo sa manila, baka ang total cost mo after shipping charges, taxes and duties (na depende sa mood ng customs natin), eh mataas pa sa $2.7K.  or kung bumiyahe ka mismo sa us para lang bumili ng gitara, eh di lalo tumaas ang total cost mo.

tagal na ako naghahanap ng prs hollowbody.  i found one na hb 2, artist package, with piezo... benta $2.4K.  sa loob-loob ko good na yun.  tinawaran ko ng $2.1K.  aba, ayaw na tuloy ako kausaping ng seller... hay naku, minsan hindi uubra yung pagiging ilokano ko dito sa america eh...  :lol:
